Treating Errors That Lead To Changing The Meaning In Memorizing The Holy Qur’an: An Analytical Study

Abstract

The change that hits the sound of language in its outlets or its characteristics is formed during the time, as is the operation of the impact among the languages and the general weakness in the language performance, which might change its semantic references. All these massive errors, in some cases, are unintentional. Some of these problems include changing the sounds, inflection of the words, or forward and backward of the sentence context, which firmly change the meaning. It has been observed by researchers that certain students occasionally commit errors that result in alterations to the intended meaning of the Noble Verse during the recitation of the memorised Qur'an. This study aims to identify students’ levels of memorising and reciting the Qur'an and Arabic proficiency and suggest solutions to  the problem of changing meaning while students recite the memorised Qur’anic verses. Consequently,  the study utilised a quantitative approach, and a questionnaire was developed by the researchers  to address this particular concern. 357 students actively engaged in the survey. The questionnaire comprises four parts: students demographic information, memorising the Holy Qur’an, the science of Tajweed and its mastery, and their' proficiency in the Arabic language. The statistical software SPSS was utilised for analysing the data. The findings indicated that the acquisition of proficiency in memorising the Qur’an necessitates a greater degree of exertion. To achieve proficiency in memory, it is imperative for students to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the Arabic language and possess a firm grasp on the principles governing the articulation of letters. To alleviate this issue, the study proposed adopting contemporary technologies and computerised programmes that correct the mistakes of readers, as well as providing more content in Arabic. The ideal solution is to recite the Qur’an to a proficient and knowledgeable sheikh in order to completely avoid these errors.
